This is a read-only field.

Note:

If the previous state was Armed Away or Stay, the system will not respond to sensor changes for 1 minute. This allows time for sensors such as PIRs to stabilize.

Auto Stay Arming

If this feature is enabled by installer, the panel, when armed AWAY from the control’s keypad or a Wireless Keypad, automatically switches to the STAY mode if the Exit Time expires and no exit has been made. Exit must be made through an Entry/Exit Zone (door). If exit is made through a Garage Door, the system will automatically switch to the STAY mode when the Exit Time expires.

Note:

If the exit route entry/exit sensor is in a check condition or has been bypassed it will result in a loss of interior protection because the alarm system will arm STAY in this case. Consult with your installer for servicing of the entry exit zones or to turn off this feature if a check condition on entry exit zones occurs.

  • None
